President Isaac Herzog has frozen further review of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s pardon request, Kan News reported on Sunday evening.
According to the report, Herzog’s decision came after Netanyahu failed to respond to his invitation to hold talks with the prosecution.
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara agreed to hold talks but was not expected to approve a pardon without an admission of guilt, something that Netanyahu has repeatedly said he will not agree to.
The cases against Netanyahu have fallen apart one by one in the courtroom, with multiple claims disproven or withdrawn. In addition, multiple incidents of police investigators acting illegally in the cases have been revealed in the courtroom.
Netanyahu’s testimony in his ongoing trial is expected to conclude in the near future, and once it does, the pardon request could become irrelevant.
In February, U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Herzog over the matter, saying: “He should be ashamed that he is not granting Netanyahu a pardon.”

It would seem to me that just based on the commitment and job performance Netanyahu has done for Israel, he should be freed from these ridiculous and frivolous precedings. This, aside from the requests made by the American president! This is just blatant stupidity. It’s the Israeli political system at it best! Stupid!
If Herzog and Gali would have had 1% consideration for the state, they would have cleared Netanyahu long ago, so he can focus on the state instead of wasting his time with absurd court appearances. But ousting Bibi is more important than the security of Israel.
If anyone would like to see an ongoing miracle to be mitchazek – he needs to look no further than the perverted secular ‘justice’ system in the State of Israel and realize how much of a miracle it is that the medina still exists with that as their system of ‘law’
Herzog is a filthy רשע מרושע ושונאי ישראל who only cares about the wicked leftist agenda, and has absolutely no concern whatsoever for the safety of עם בני ישראל and letting the Prime-Minister do his work במנוחת-הנפש.
Meanwhile:- G-d Bless President Donald Trump שליט”א.
